The dollar dropped to a two-week low against the yen on Tuesday on expectations the Federal Reserve will maintain its downbeat stance on the U.S. economy as it grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic, and keep U.S. interest rates near zero for some time.

The Fed begins a two-day meeting on Tuesday and analysts expect the U.S. central bank to affirm its current zero-interest-rate policy over the next three years, a view that could further weigh on the dollar. Analysts do not expect a rate hike view from the Fed on Wednesday, but if it does happen, that could be a positive for the dollar.

“The big story for tomorrow would be a 2023 rate hike on the dots,” said Greg Anderson, global head of FX strategy at BMO Capital Markets in New York. “What we’d hope to see is that the Fed projects no rate hikes for 2023. If they put a rate hike in there, equities and commodities would sell off and the dollar would rally,” he added.to 105.46, after earlier sliding to a two-week low of 105.30 yen.“The U.S. central bank will be wary of uncertainty the U.S. presidential election will bring with it and wouldn’t want to cause unnecessary turmoil in the financial markets,” said Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst, at ThinkMarkets.com in London.
